About this role
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure, and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
At E-Space, we’re focused on bridging Earth and space with the world’s most sustainable low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. We’re a team of bold thinkers, ambitious leaders and dynamic doers—and we’re disrupting NewSpace by fundamentally changing the design of legacy LEO space systems to deliver entirely new satellite capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed—to saving space, to protecting our planet and to turning connectivity into actionable intelligence.
As Director or VP of Software Engineering, you will own the full software engineering organization for our space vehicle programs — from architecture and embedded systems to communications software and mission-critical delivery.
This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a world-class engineering team at the forefront of commercial and government space. You will set technical vision, drive execution, and be a key voice in company strategy — partnering directly with the CEO, CTO, and program leadership to shape the next generation of space vehicles.
The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on roots in embedded systems, Board Support Package (BSP) development, and communications software — combined with the leadership presence and organizational maturity to scale a high-performing engineering team.
